Flourless Chocolate Cake

Pieces of chocolate cake with scones on a platter

I chanced upon this recipe from Taste and have been wanting to try this delicious-looking cake.

'Flourless' means that no flour is used, but it is usually replaced by either hazelnut or, more commonly, almond meal (nuts ground finely - alternatively you can use a food processor to ground whole/half nuts into a 'meal'). 'Flourless' also means that this is suitable for people who are gluten-intolerant. I love the hint of nutty flavour in this chocolate cake. This recipe requires a little bit more effort. Try it when you want to attempt something different, or when you need an idea for something enjoyable you can make for friends on a gluten-free diet.

Recipe is found here. I find that half the amount of chocolate and cream is more than sufficient to ice the entire cake. I had a bit of leftover after icing the entire cake. Store the leftover icing in the fridge and use it on your toast, just like nutella!
